Noticed Extra Slash

I just signed up for a test account on http://testbp.org/ and noticed a very minor bug. I entered in my information, but had capital letters in my username (why can’t we just use strtolower), and it sent me back to the signup page. But in the about me box there was a slash added before the ‘ in my message. I know the slash was added for insertion into the mysql, but shouldn’t the not be display to the user?

I think there just needs to be a stripslashes run on the data that is propegating those boxes from post.
